Type Bio Poem

We don't have our googledocs account numbers, yet, so we will type our poems at home and bring a hard copy to school so I can check it for accuracy. We'll focus on the picture next week.

You did a great job organizing your materials. I am very proud of you.

Here is just an imaginary poem that might help you to improve your own!



                                                       Bio Po
 Ralphie
 Couageous, caring, casual, and supportive   (alliteration)
 Resident of a house as small as a peanut shell  (simile)
 Lover of freedom-loving feet that roam the prairie



Who feels incredible loneliness when sitting in the black abyss he calls his bedroom   (metaphor)
Who finds happiness in books about adventure that beg to be read  (personification)
Who needs to explore the magical world of books every hour of the day (hyperbole)
Who gives love and support to his friend, Marvin




Who fears spiders and crawly insects
Who would like to overcome his shyness around new friends
Who enjoys swimming in his wonderful world of words
Who excels at playing the violin




 Believer in being the best he can be
 Who is motivated by seeing his parents smile
  McGeeGee


HAVE A GREAT LONG WEEKEND!

Great First Day!

It was wonderful to see so many students all ready to go and binders and notebooks organized and labeled. Tomorrow we will use dividers to organize even further. Period One will finish going over the expectations sheet during class. We ran out of time today.

Homework

Review the expectations with your parent/guardian and have them sign the bottom of the sheet after your signature.
Have the Questionnaire completed and signed. (I'll put both on my blog for future reference).
Bring your graphic organizer to class tomorrow.

CORE Enrichment
Bring a silent reading book

SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!
